How the MaracAibans Live.

Going ashore early before sunrise,
our first vi 1t was made To the market
place to see what Maracalbans live
upon. a better and a cheaper mari ct
would be hard to find. Excellent
beef, goat, pork apd fowls averaged ten
cents pound. and all varieties OF trop-
zeal fruits abOunded at corresponding
prices. Tied together in lunches were
great green lizards two or three feet
long, with brown warts all over them
and vicious black beads of eyes. -'ay
snapped at us like dogs as we ass
and when teaSed with a stick NJ ,
1t ike bull terriers. These were d.
mas, whose delicious white flesh is ca
gerry eaten by all classes. 1t tastes
Ike chicken, but is more delicate. Of
course considerable hanger would be
needed to make them appetizlng 10
stranger who should recognize them in
a stew. Farther on an animal with
head and tail like a rat, feet like an al
Hgator and a coat OF mail like an IRON
clad man Of war was tied to post.
Upon receiving poke it rolled itself
promptly into ball, head and all
being quite covered by its plates, and
thus defied further attack. This was
an armadillo, also tIdbit when prop
erly stewed or roasted.
Monkeys were scarce in the market;
and the old school book fable of trav-
eers making use OF them 10 get cocoa
nuts from lofty trees, by shying stones
at them and dodgIng nuts that came
down in return, came to mind as |
watched the antics OF a few of these
poor brutes waiting their turn to be
sold. The fact is, monkeys are very
shy of their human cousins, and re-
treat from civilization with al speed.
CocOanut trees do not grow wild, but
require careful cultivation and con-
stant care, being planted for profit or
for ornament near houses; so that
monkey is almost as likely to be found
upon an apple tree as on cocoa palm.
And owners of plantations would prob
ably welcome any stranger, whether
two or four handed, who attempted to
steal their fruit, very much in the
same manner as they would with US.

ness is exaggerated, not TO say myth

TrampinS In Trinidad.

when you take a tramp through
Trinidad" says writer, 'you mus
bear in mind that 1t Is the home of the
snake and be sure to provide yourself
with high boots and stick. The map

abound IN these parts, and along the
march below can be found the enor-
nous anaconda or water-boa, for
which l hold great respect, having
seen him in all his glory.
'Ihere are two kinds of monkeys
very common he-e-the red monkey or
howler and the white sapajou or weep

shaped bone in his throttle, which en-
aoles him TO make hideOuS noise which
he does for the edlfication of his mate
"These monkeys share the trees with
sort OF pOrcupine with long prehen-
sile tai. What the name of the crea-
ture is I have not been able to find
out. The capybara, peccary, deer,
armadillo and great aut-eater, frequent
the wooded districts or borders OF the
streams. The nlmpenero or bell-pird,
parrots and toucdLs, live in the more
secluded parts, while the marshes
swarm with hamingoeS, pelicans and
alligators.
The bell-bird makes sound like
that produced by striking an anvil
with hammer, and Its eject Is very
startling.
The regions which these animals

Artificial Tropics.

In the belief that uIUuorn science can
command climate, DIR. b. w. Richard
son proposes that British invalids be
given IN their native isles the advant-
ages of tropical resorts. This he would
accomplish by establishing winter
homes or health palaces. each contain
Ing fifty or more comfortable two-story
houses, incloslng a large square of or
namental grounds, and provided with
libraries, baths, amusement halls, etc.
Fiower-lined galleries, giving long
promenades, would extend over the
houses under glass roofs, while the
central inclo5ure would be shat In by
an immense arch of glass at a great
height above the ground. Suitable
heating and ventilating apparatus
would give an equable and adjustable
temDerature TO all parts OF the struc-
ures, and any desired character might
be impaired to the climate. Even
cloudy days need not be known, as
electric suns could be made to shine at
pleasure.

The Emperor Napoleon on Acting.

Talma used to 20 oIL of his way 10
get into passion when people talked
10 him or the art of defamation, and
he claimed, quite rightly, that he
acted and did not declaIm. Why should
one not act CInIia, BrItanuicus, MI

simple character? Why should not one
pour ones blood, one 5 own blood, into
these statue-liKe figures?

sonage you represent Pomey, Cesar,
Augustus, that sly politician, can never
have reSembled actors who are always
on the stage, and absorbed in getting
themselves applauded. They used to
speak, and not TO declaim; and even at
tie tribune or at the head of armies
they were orators, and not actors.
Look you, Talma, ;" added the emperor;
you often come TO see me in the
morning. You meet a number OF peo-
pie. There are princesses who have
been robbed of their lovers, princes
who have lost their domInions, kings
of yesterday whom war has brought to
the top, victorious generals who are
hoping for or asking for crowns. There
are rosnd me deluded ambitions, ar
dent riyalries, catastropheS, sorrows
concealed al the bottom of the heart,
afh .ctions which force their way into
notice. Certainly there Is plenty of
tragedy; my palace is full of it, and /
myself am asSuredly the most tragic of
the figures of the time. Well, do you
See US raise our arms in the air, study
